PTT RIG 1022 /dev/ttyUSB0 4800

This line tells Direwolf to use hamlib for PTT.
Rig number 1022 is for an FT-857 <--- NOTE the rig number is for the new version of hamlib
/dev/ttyUSB0 is the CAT port to the rig
4800 is the baud rate to the rig
If you used a later version of BAP to install, another option is to look for these lines in the direwolf.conf file:
#Uncomment line below for PTT with sabrent sound card
#PTT RIG 2 localhost:4532

and uncomment the second line:
#Uncomment line below for PTT with sabrent sound card
PTT RIG 2 localhost:4532

It works the same as what you did above but isn't radio specific. Rig 2 sends the commands to hamlib which when used in conjunction with Pat Menu to start the modems forwards those command to FLRIG. A bit convoluted but makes it easy to swap radios. All you need to do is setup FLRIG for the new radio. There is a way to configure FLRIG to use two different radios on the same Pi. https://youtu.be/TgnhbT49DFM

Re: Bullseye download

 

Either. If you need Office Suite type stuff, Python Editors, etc, Go "Recommended Software". I use the Desktop (basic) version for anything that needs Desktop, and Lite when I can.

Which version?
?with recommended software or just desktop?

You got either Desktop image from here:

It will (usually) show why. It's possible that if you are only using WiFi, the wifi isn't connecting to anything.
If you have a monitor, it's helpful to connect it up (even if your goal is to run headless) for testing

Re: BAP on Raspi Desktop Edition #bullseye #bap

Hi

I did a search and was not able to find a copy of the i386 RaspianOS in Bullseye yet. I expect since it

wasn't in high demand it will be awhile in coming out.

Re: BAP on Raspi Desktop Edition #bullseye #bap

 

Conky (with the exception of the RaspberryPiOS calls (which can be modified easily enough, I could help you with that)) and gparted both work fine. Chirp needs to be worked on, but should work, I've used it previously on Debian. FLSuite and Hotspot are unique setups, I believe, but can be done natively.

Hi

?The name is 2021-05-07-raspios-buster-i386.iso. So the new name would be (date-raspios-bullseye-i386.iso)

I would expect. I will look for a copy myself to see if it is improved any, as I am still interested in

pursuing this some more.

Re: BAP on Raspi Desktop Edition #bullseye #bap

Hi all

I have tried the Raspberry desktop OS on a HP Stream 11, older one with 32GB of Disk. I will allow

BAP to run but as mentioned some things won't work. I did get it to load the FLsuite of programs

and some others, just can't remember what just now. All on a Buster version OS.

I haven't looked to see if there is a Bullseye version available, if so I may try again. The one I would

like to see work is Conky for the screen information, then the Flsuite, and of course the Gparted,

CHIRP, HOTSPOT, HOTSPOT tools. And maybe a few others.

I also have a Rpi 4B with 4GB that I use too, but the small Stream would be handy to use for POTA.

Some of the software _MAY_ be available in the Debian x86 repos, but I wouldn't count on it.
Also you'd have to run as sudo in Debian, but, as it was pointed out in another thread, Debian and RaspberryPiOS handle sudo differently.

To my knowledge it ONLY works on Raspi Desktop OS.

I prefer the easier route with BAP but didn't want to run it then have to reinstall everything if it wasn't going to work.

Thank you.

Re: Go Box Help

Scott,

Thank you for the reply.? I will be looking at that rack mount for another non HAM Pi project.

I was not clear enough in my description of the box and mounting goals.

The Pi is in a metal case (the VHF/UHF is a NWDR DRAWS package).

I found a 6 in shelf and will hold the Pi and PowerPoles power distribution block. This will
allow me to put a cover on the shelf and drill some holesfor power connectors to keep
it looking cleaner.

I use velcro to mount my Pi to the side of my gobox. I also use velcro to mount my signal links and 12v usb plug. I have a slide out shelf that I use for the bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I have a 12" monitor that runs off of 12vdc I take it off the stand and store it in a padded envelope when transporting it. My monitor is not mounted in my box. I set it on the shelf that holds my FT8900 and mfj auto antenna tuner when in use. I have a 991a mounted to the bottom of the shelf using the mobile mounting bracket and two signal links mounted using velcro to the bottom of it too.

I hope this helps!

the radios and the HF tuners.

Two questions :

1) What do you recommend to use to mount the Pi in the back?

2) What is your recommendation for mounting a 12v DC HDMI monitor?

For the monitor, I am looking do something like mounting the drawer slides

and build a cross bar that attaches to the VESA plate on the monitor.
